One of the chief assets we have here at Smiley Central and My Fun Cards is our vastly talented team of world-class animators, designers and writers. As a result, we're able to bring you cards that the folks down at your local stationery store couldn't even dream of. This year, for example, we've introduced a new series of edgy Christmas cards. I bet your local card shop doesn't offer any holiday greetings featuring a stressed-out and inebriated Santa, a foul-mouthed island castaway seeking a Christmas miracle or a particularly naughty reindeer.

And while you've been sifting through your holiday card address book, Stephen - our brilliant 3D animator - has been busier than one of Santa's elves. (Stephen is responsible for creating our popular 3-D Haunted House card and the very funny Survivor Turkey Island Thanksgiving card.)

He's spent the last couple of weeks adding painstaking detail, frame-by-frame, to two new 3D animated Christmas cards he created for you to enjoy: a smiley child shaking a present on Christmas day, and a group of smiley children creating some holiday memories with Santa at the mall.

Take a look at Stephen's latest creation below - a rather humorous slice of smiley holiday life at the mall...

If you're looking for more traditional Christmas greetings, rest assured we have those as well - including a magical nativity scene.

Not celebrating Christmas? No worries. We have plenty of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year's eCards for you to read, send and enjoy. And don't tell those folks at the card store, but our cards don't have prices on the back...since they're completely free. (Or at least free to those of you who've downloaded our My Fun Cards/Smiley Central toolbar, which you can find here.)

So save your stamps and your sanity this season by sending a free holiday eCard instead. Regardless of whether the people you know have been naughty or nice, we're pretty certain that Santa would approve.
